Thank You everyone for all the support on this video! As you can probably guess this video took forever to make and to see so many people enjoying it is the best feeling in the world. Also the start of the Intro might seem a little funky and that's because we originally had a longer intro but the song we used was copyrighted so we had to trim it in the KZbin Editor. Sorry for that but thank you everyone again for the support!

I know a lot of people say that the bubble was the weakest championship in NBA history, but like the Covid protocols and being separated from their families combined with the open gym and even scrubs could go off for 20 because as you said, no one was missing. I think it was honestly the toughest championship mentally because there are no excuses, it's just 10 players and quiet gym.

people really have always hated the bubble and yes we all do in some aspect, but it honestly gave us some most intense and insane basketball moments in the last half decade, like just imagine OG’s 0.5 buzzer beater with a crowd, same with AD’s game winner vs denver, what about lukas’s buzzer beater vs the clippers, and imagine how much more intense the nuggets vs jazz series wouldve been, these moments would be all timers if they were in an arena with a packed crowd

Fr, was an amazing, tough playoffs that wasn’t even riddled with injuries (apart from the heat). Jimmy butler was just insane, same for Luka who hit one of the best game winners ever tbh, LeBron hitting 3s from the logo against dame in the playoffs, 3-1 comeback from the nuggets. Intense heat Celtics matchup, and we got to see a great finals, Jimmy Butler’s performance was amazing to see and really gave the team some hope, but seemed like he was too tired to do that in consecutive games, then there was the Danny green 3 pointer lol 😂. Nah but Luka had some of the craziest stats in that series, and Jimmy Butler having a 40 point triple double and a 35 point triple double was really nice… conference finals I do agree lacked highlight plays tho lol

Also the last time we got to see the harden that elevated his game in the playoffs, the scorer, until he went to Brooklyn and became a playmaker, got injured in the playoffs, then went to philly and was a playmaker but a shaky shooter, I hope he has a bounce back year and plays like he did when he first got to the nets, he can pass the ball and get 10 assists with some rebounds while scoring 25 points a game, playmaking for Embiid and his teammates while scoring

@@rimimimimimimimim4170 Idky people are such huge fans of Harden. He isn't a winner and he's proven that many times over. No one cares about a player who racks up a ton of points by throwing themselves into defenders. Look at NBA history, there are guys with over 20k points that never even sniffed the finals and you never hear their names mentioned. Harden will be one of those players. Philly will never win with Embiid and Harden because both of them are injury prone and miss a boat load of games. He may get decent numbers launching a ton of shots with a terrible FG% but they won't be winning any rings. And oh look Harden is missing the whole month of November 😂

I started to watch the NBA when they were in the bubble it was really fun to get to know all the basketball rules and out of this world players. I also kept thinking what it would be like with fans in the stadium and if that affected the players and I remember the first game I watched with fans. It made such a big difference, it probably wasn’t the best game ever but to me it was because I experienced how the NBA really was for the first time outside of the bubble.

I worked at ESPN wide world of sports (not during the bubble but about a year after). The stories the workers have of the players are insane. They all HATE lebron. Apparently he wanted to have somebody fired for changing a trash can in a gym he was warming up in. They also love Russ, he would talk with the workers on the down time and he was so nice. Players also weren't allowed in the parks, the parks were not a part of the bubble. WDW was fully opened to the public at this time. Even some of the hotels that the players were staying at were split down the middle with plastic fence and one side was the bubble and the other side was a public disney hotel.

Thinking about the bubble is bitter sweet to me. On one hand, I was shocked to see my Miami Heat make it to the finals with JB as our one superstar. On the other hand, they made it that far and honestly shouldn’t have lost. Especially after seeing how horrible the Lakers got after winning. Like looking back at it, the loss pisses me off even more. Crazy to think how LeBron’s legacy would’ve looked with another finals loss too.

As a Miami fan as well. They lost because Bam and Dragic got hurt. That's it. But the Lakers would have not ben as bad had AD and LeBron not dealt with injuries the following season, (let's also not forget that the Heat and Lakers had the shortest off season in American Sports history). Then they gutted the team for Westbrook and honestly had they not, they probably would have bounced back like the Heat have.

The NBA Bubble was one of the best things that happened in sports! It was just the players locked in one place duking it out and you realize who were mentally in it and those who weren't the sideline trash talks were louder. Players you didn't expect to perform were dropping big games left and right, Crazy stories outside the bubble after the games. Not to mention people didn't give the Heat enough credit of what they had to go through to get to the finals and The lakers winning it was a cherry on top sealing the chip after what had happened prior with Covid and the death of kobe. I will always remember the Bubble for getting me through that horrendous time in the world.

I don't know if it's a hot take, because I feel although many would call me crazy for this, there would be just as many people agreeing. The real COVID season was the 2020-21 season. This season was way more of a fluke than the bubble season (which imo was no fluke at all, I was expecting the Heat to make the finals, because they man handled the Bucks in the RS and were a better team than Boston imo). Milwaukee and Phoenix for example haven't done anything significant since then, the Hawks have barely made the playoffs in every season, Clippers even missed the once and have won just 1 playoffs game since making it (ironically) the only time in their Franchise History to the CF. That was also the only season Miami and Boston weren't really competitive in the last 4 seasons (5 if we include this one). I like CP3, but isn't it ironic his only finals appearance was in 2021. And lets look at Gianni's track record: 2018, lost first round in 7 (not on him) 2019, struggled against Kawhi (I wasn't expecting them to make the finals anyway, I belieeved in Toronto) 2020, struggled badly against Miami, 2022, played well but lost in 2nd round 2023, lost to the 8 seed Heat in 5 (had injuries, but still, they looked lost). Apart from that "fluke" championship, his record is looking pretty bad tbh. Let's see if it changes with Dame, but if so, it's a completely different team. But if he wins against the will of Doc Rivers, I'm gonna own it that I was wrong. But till now, nothing will change my mind that jf any season deserves an asterisk, it's the season after the bubble, and not the bubble, which was maybe the most fair championship in history because everyone was playing under the exact same circumstances.

This is the season that got me into basketball. In the wake of Kobe’s death, I started watching highlights and actually understanding the game. I got into the season as a way to have something on in the background while I was writing. Then the pandemic started. I’ll never forget when the Lakers won. It really felt like a win this city really needed. Fireworks going off everywhere. Those were some great games, and I’ll never forget it.

Fantastic retrospective! I was a little disappointed you guys didn't mention the run the Suns went on, going undefeated but just missing the playoffs. That definitely put Phoenix back on the map after years of nothing basketball. But a great video nonetheless!

I think the bubble shows more than anything on how team chemistry and leadership matters so much in the playoffs. You can see that with the the two teams that made it to the finals. Lebron leading the lakers and Butler leading the heat.

the bubble was a real championship, honestly due to the world around them id argue it was more stressful and difficult for most players, and that the NBA basically did the best it could given the circumstances.
